What a smug, condescending review!
Well, gee! I was eagerly awaiting Atlas Shrugged to show up in my local theater, and I was all set to go.
But now? Ebert says I’ll be disappointed. So I guess I’ll stay at work instead.
NOT!!!

All I need is for Atlas Shrugged to make $.01 more, and I will be a happy man.
You have to realize the source. I’ve read Atlas Shrugged and it still remains one of the best novels I’ve laid eyes on.
I personally do not know if Ole’ Rog is liberal or conservative (I mean that very seriously). That being said, he is terrible at movie ratings. I used to assume (like anyone would) that if he gives it high marks, it must be good. After The Piano... enough said. I do the opposite. If he says a movie sucks, I find that I rather enjoy it.
Maybe I’m not nearly as smart or sophisticated as Rodgy....
